Windows 7 & Ubuntu 10.04 dual boot problem

[dlucci]

Hey everyone,
So I finally installed ubuntu on my hard drive. But, I have a problem: It makes a new partition each time I update the software or add software from the download center. Why is it doing this and, more importantly, how can I fix it?

Cheers,
dlucci

Welcome to the forum.

Why do you think it is installing a new partition. kernel updates will add boot entries so you can boot either the old or new kernel if that is what you are seeing.
